The atmosphere was bleak there, but lively here, and Shea Thorne knew nothing before going on stage.
After sitting on stage, she realized that many people were present today, with the school's dean and some important officials in the front row, flanking Skye Yardley. On either side of Skye sat an older couple, presumably her parents, as she had mentioned.
The seating arrangement clearly showed the weight her parents carried; Milo Sinclair had not lied to her. Her parents held significant social status.
Today, Milo and his parents also attended. Mr. Sinclair wore a very formal Chinese tunic suit, which matched well with Madam Sinclair's evening gown.
In contrast, Milo and his father's tuxedos were well-matched with Shea's concert attire.
The two of them sitting together suddenly had the air of father and son, surrounded by people of authority as well.
The lights dimmed, making it impossible to see everyone in the audience.
